     Downing & Gayle Insurance was founded in 1987 with a firm promise and commitment to outstanding customer service. We believe that purchasing insurance can be made simple for the customer by taking the time to explain coverage and options. As an independent insurance agency, we encourage you to leave the shopping to us.

     We represent A rated companies with proven track records and excellent claims service. Our agency is family owned and operated and we consider our insureds to be a part of our extended family. So whether you are relocating to the Raleigh area or a lifetime resident, remember . . .
we make “no apologies for old-fashioned service.”
